Modeling and Control of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Power Plant With Fault Ride-Through Capability

According to modern grid codes (GCs), high penetration of photovoltaic power plants (PVPPs) to the utility grid requires a reliable PV generation system by achieving fault ride-through (FRT) requirements. In order to meet these requirements, there are two major issues that should be addressed to kee...
